2. About CIT

On January 23th, 2017, National Development and Reform Committee (NDRC) of China approved the establishment of National Engineering laboratory. In order to solve the problems of backward research and development methods in core technology, strengthen the link of national technological innovation system as well as enhance the independent industrial development capability, National Engineering laboratory for Cyberlearning and Intelligent Technology (CIT) was established by Beijing Normal University(BNU) and jointly organized by Tsinghua University, China Mobile Communications Corporation (CMCC), Elernity and IFLYTEK CO.LTD.

Aimed at the issues such as uneven distribution of high-quality educational resources, inadequate capacity of individualized learning services and so on, the National Engineering laboratory focuses on the sharing of high-quality educational resources and the urgent need of intelligent educational resources to set up a research platform for Cyberlearning and Intelligent Technology. It will support Interactive System for Distance Education, Knowledge Modeling and Analysis, Learner Modeling and Learning Analytics, Design and Assessment of Learning Environment, Systematic Education Governance as well as other technological R&D and engineering.
